[C320-list] It's a dinghy, a fiendish dinghy

Wed Apr 19 09:22:57 PDT 2006

In an MOB situation I wouldn't have the MOB try to get back on the Boat via 
the stern ladder because it would be dangerous in the case of high seas 
(which is when someone usually falls overboard).  I would hoist them up 
using my spare halyard from the side of the boat.

It would be a bit of a pain to get the dinghy out of the way to get them 
back on boat that way though.  It is easy enough to drop it but then you 
would have to at least unclip one line from the dinghy so you could shift 
the boat out of the way.
